1. Select the profile height according to the tile thickness and the installation method.
2. Apply tile adhesive to the area where the tile covering will end, using a notched trowel.
3. Press the trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg of the profile firmly into the adhesive and align it.
4. Trowel additional tile adhesive over the trapezoid perforated anchoring leg to ensure full coverage.
5. Fully embed the adjoining tiles and adjust them in such a way that the upper lip of the profile is flush with the tile.
   Note: The profile may slightly protrude or be recessed in the wall area to offset dimensional variations in the covering material. In floor areas, the profile should not be higher than the tiled surface, but rather up to approx. 1 mm lower.
6. The tile is set to the lateral joint spacer, which creates an evenly spaced joint of 1.5 mm. In the case of profiles without joint spacer, a joint of approx. 1.5 mm is recommended.
7. Completely fill the space between the tile and the profile with grout.

The profile is available in the following finishes:

• AC = colour coated aluminium

Material properties and areas of application

In special cases, the suitability of materials must be verified based on the anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other stresses.

Schlüter-SCHIENE-AC (colour coated aluminium) are only suitable for installation in wall coverings, where they provide durable and visually appealing edge protection.

Profiles for use in walls

The aluminium material of Schlüter-SCHIENE-AC is pre-treated and powder-coated with a polyurethane covering. The coating is colour-stable, as well as UV- and weather-resistant. Visible edges should be protected against abrasion.
